7 Days 7 Ways | The Kimono Jacket Is This Season’s Must-Have

By Clare Acheson - 09 Feb 2016

Sometimes your wardrobe needs a little somethin’ somethin’ to get it through the seasonal transition. Not too dressed-up, not to dressed-down, we are loving the trend of kimono jackets popping up in some of our favourite labels’ new season collections. Check out seven ways to rock this awesome piece in your day-to-day wardrobe.

Monday | Breakfast With A Book at Dear Jervois

Slow start to the week? Spend a casual Monday morning with a book and a strong coffee, and team a luxe kimono with low-key jeans, sneakers and a favourite sweater at Auckland favourite, Dear Jervois.

Tuesday | Vintage Shopping in Fitzroy

Mix and match prints and patterns in a look that’s borrowed straight from a vintage store in Fitzroy. Be as playful as possible – dots, florals, graphic prints, and some killer statement jewellery to pull your look together.

Wednesday | Start-Up Lunch At Urbane

Catch up with your kickstarter/start up team over lunch at Urbane in a look that’s sharp enough to show you mean business, but casual enough to show you know it doesn’t mean wearing a pantsuit. It’s ALL about the heels, Listers.

Friday | Luxe Cocktails At Lobo Plantation

A strong red lip colour, swept-back hair and all black everything is the way to go for a sophisticated evening of cocktails at Lobo Plantation. Don’t be afraid to rock a little uniqueness – whether it’s Twigs-esque braids or some jewellery from your world travels, a little originality goes a long way.
